Chicago Electric Portable Variable Speed Band Saw

"The Spark-Free Surgeon." Why spend your Saturday dodge-rolling away from a shower of sparks and the deafening scream of a metal chop saw? This Chicago Electric Portable Band Saw is the quiet, cool-headed professional your garage deserves. It zips through rebar, pipe, and angle iron with the grace of a hot knife through butter—minus the fire hazard. It’s got variable speed for when you need to be delicate and 6 amps of power for when you just want the job done. It’s not a fancy-pants $400 brand name, but it’ll cut the exact same piece of metal and leave you with enough money left over for a victory steak.
